Experience the ultimate in videotaping convenience with the DCR-DVD201 DVD Handycam Camcorder from Sony. Now you can record directly onto 3-inch DVD-R and DVD-RW at resolutions comparable to MiniDV. Best of all, the DVD media can easily be viewed on most current DVD players and PCs1, making playback a snap. You can even capture still JPEG images up to a maximum resolution of 1152 x 864 thanks to its 1-megapixel CCD imager. It's like having both a camcorder and digital camera in one. Minimize

Looks Nice, Easy to Use, Not for Budget Minded

Author's Rating: 4/5 stars  

Pros: DVD format very compatible with DVD players, easy to use, small, high amount of pixels

Cons: Expensive, lack of good manual controls, lower resolution than some Hitachi and Panasonic

Bottom Line:
Still undecided. Less resolution than competitors, but much higher pixels. Looks real good, but expensive. DVD-RW is a good recording format for DVD players. Sleek looking. Read More

Pros: Easy to use, compact, features, USB2.0 , good controls, battery, DVD

Cons: Price, slow DVD operation, some flimsinnes, digital stills not of "photo" quality

Bottom Line:
